The surname Crowder has its origins in Ireland. It is an occupational name derived from the word "crowder," which refers to a person who played the crowd (an early medieval musical instrument). The name is considered to be of English and Irish origin.
In Ireland, the Crowders were primarily found in County Wexford and County Tipperary. They were a part of the Gaelic culture and were likely involved in music and entertainment. The name may have been anglicized from its original Gaelic form, creating variations such as McGrourty and McGrory.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, many Irish people emigrated to other countries, particularly the United States, in search of better opportunities. As a result, the surname Crowder spread beyond Ireland. Irish immigrants with the Crowder surname settled in various states, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York.
Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of the surname may have changed to adapt to the language and dialect of the new countries. Today, individuals with the surname Crowder can be found in various parts of the world, with many still having ancestral ties to Ireland. The name has also become somewhat more common among African Americans, possibly due to its association with slave surnames.
